TOTTENHAM defender Michael Dawson has warned his England team-mates that Gareth Bale is back to his “unstoppable” best ahead of next week’s Euro 2012 qualifier in Cardiff.

Bale has made only two substitute appearances since picking up a back injury against Newcastle two months ago, but is now back in full training and could start Saturday’s London derby against West Ham.

“How do you stop Gareth Bale? That’s a good question,” Dawson said.

“If I am in the England squad, people will be asking me how.

“It’s very hard to stop Gaz. Sometimes he is just unstoppable. Many a team have tried this season.”
